About Chalice
Chalice Kopacki is a licensed master social worker with 15 years of experience. She focuses on practical support for adults navigating stress, anxiety, grief, relationship struggles, addictions, and anger. Chalice writes and teaches in academic settings and brings a grounded, down-to-earth approach to sessions.
She spent years working in healthcare, hospice, and mental health before concentrating on counseling. That mix of settings shaped how she listens - paying attention to what matters most and to everyday challenges.
Background and approach
She also advises college students on career choices and job search skills. Sessions are straightforward and collaborative. Chalice aims to help people name what feels hard, try concrete steps that fit their life, and adjust as needed.
She offers coaching on coping with life changes, improving communication, and building self-esteem. Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotion-focused strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. Those methods get used in simple, practical ways rather than technical jargon.
The goal is usable tools you can try between sessions. Chalice offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options for therapy. She works with people in Michigan and accepts international clients.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-centered work focuses on listening and responding to each person's concerns. It helps people feel heard and shapes sessions around what matters most to them, such as managing anger or coping with loss.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behavior. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking big problems into manageable steps.
Emotionally-focused strategies help people identify and name strong feelings and then build different ways to respond. That can make relationships and intimacy concerns easier to talk about and change over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chalice will collaborate with clients to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort with different formats. She adjusts techniques as the relationship and goals evolve.
Online sessions offer practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and try different ways of working.
